Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called on the United Nations to make the United States and Israel pay reparations over their attacks on the country’s nuclear facilities.

In a Sunday letter to the UN chief and members of the Security Council, Araghchi described recent attacks on Iran’s civilian nuclear facilities as instances of war crimes and aggression against international peace, adding that Iran must be fully compensated for the attacks.

He said that attacks that targeted facilities in Natanz, in central Iran, and on areas near the Bushehr nuclear power plant, on the Persian Gulf coast, were a violation of the UN Charter, the Statute of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and peremptory norms of international law.

Making a reference to the text of UN laws and regulations, the top Iranian diplomat said that “the State responsible for such internationally wrongful act is under an obligation ‘to cease that act,’ ‘to offer appropriate assurances and guarantees of non-repetition,’ and ‘to make full reparation for the injury caused by the internationally wrongful act’ and ‘to compensate for the damage caused.’"

Araghchi also called on the Security Council to require the Israeli regime to join the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

“The Security Council must enforce its previous resolutions regarding the regime, and accordingly demand that the Israeli regime must renounce the possession of nuclear weapons, accede without delay to all international legally-binding instruments banning weapons of mass destruction,” said his letter.

The letter comes a day after Iran said part of its nuclear facilities in Natanz had come under attack during an ongoing US-Israeli aggression on the country.

Iran has repeatedly condemned reckless US and Israeli attacks on its nuclear sites which have been carried out under the banner of fighting Tehran’s alleged efforts to build nuclear weapons.

That comes as numerous UN reports have confirmed the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear activities and its compliance with international norms and standards.
